Others suspect it because the "black political class" won't make a push for it:

Germany Just Made College Tuition Free?
Why Won't Our Black Political Class Fight
For Free Tuition Here?


By BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon
If you depend on TV and the corporate news outlets in your town you probably missed the news that this summer
Germany made college tuition free for everybody, including foreign students. That's right, free. We're not talking
about socialist Cuba here, or third world Sri Lanka here, we're talking Germany, the most capitalist of all European
countries other than Britain. And we're talking free. It says a lot that the news was not covered at all in the corporate
press or broadcast media on this side of the water. Even more tellingly, the liberal academics and think tanks like the
Center For American Progress and black outfits like the United Negro College Fund, the Congressional Black Caucus, t
he Rainbow PUSH Coalition, National Action Network and others have nothing to say on the subject.

Is free tuition even possible?

Of course it is. It's not just possible, free tuition at the nation's public colleges and universities would actually
cost LESS than the federal government now pays to those institutions, according Department of Education
stats quoted in two very useful articles by Jordan Weismann in The Atlantic in 2013 and 2014. Public colleges and
universities, he points out, account for 75% of college grads while sub-prime for-profit colleges, which are basically
machines capture low-income students and walk them through applications for subsidized guaranteed loans account
for a tiny percentage of grads but eat a full quarter of all the federal aid dollars. The skyrocketing cost of tuition has
hit nobody harder than African American families. Our glittering, successful and tirelessly self-promoting black political
class never tires of telling the black masses that education is the way out of poverty. But you have not and you will not hear
a word from the Jesse Jacksons or the Al Sharptons, or the Urban League or the NAACP, and certainly not from black college
presidents, or the United Negro College Fund on how much our people have to gain by following the example of Germany.
It's not even on their horizon.
